Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Imperial Spirit Gate.

As strong winds suddenly rose and thunderclouds gathered, a terrifying and enormous power from heaven suddenly descended on the gate of Yulingmen Mountain, covering the area within a hundred miles nearby!
The thunder tribulation of the heaven is so powerful that the area within a hundred miles of the person undergoing the tribulation is considered the tribulation zone. Any living being in this area will be attacked by the tribulation. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the attack from the tribulation.

Therefore, there is no way to seek help from outsiders in overcoming the tribulation, and one can only resist it alone.

And after the pressure of the Heavenly Dao appears, the people who are undergoing the tribulation inside have been locked in. They are not allowed to leave the tribulation area without permission. Otherwise, not only will the tribulation fall early, but its power will also double!
In this situation, whether for the sake of their own lives or to avoid interfering with the [Rock-armored Giant Rhino]'s tribulation, the cultivators of the Yuling Sect could no longer close the mountain to protect themselves.

The Yuling Sect's originally tightly closed gate suddenly opened up, and all of the Yuling Sect's monks inside left the gate under the leadership of the sect's elders, including many monsters tamed by the Yuling Sect.

After leaving the Yulingmen Mountain Gate, these people and monsters retreated to two or three hundred miles away, and then formed a formation on the spot to protect themselves.

At the same time, the coalition forces led by the Shenmu Sect also appeared one after another. Soon, an army of monks, which was several times larger than the number of disciples of the Yuling Sect, appeared dozens of miles away from them and vaguely surrounded them.

However, at this time, they only surrounded the disciples of Yuling Sect and did not take direct action.

After all, the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] has not yet passed the tribulation, and no one knows whether it can succeed.

If we fail, then this war may not be fought.

After all, sect wars usually result in one thousand casualties on the enemy and eight hundred casualties on one's own side, so it is impossible to carry out such a war unless it is absolutely necessary!

If it weren't for the possibility that a fifth-level demon king, who could disrupt the balance, might appear in the Yuling Sect this time, the Shenmu Sect would definitely not have made such a radical and desperate effort.

As all the disciples of Yuling Sect withdrew from the mountain gate, only the [Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros] remained in the entire mountain gate of Yuling Sect.

As the thunderclouds in the sky grew larger and larger, and their area expanded to dozens of miles, the giant beast finally could no longer hold back and showed up.

Accompanied by a long beast roar, a huge monster suddenly appeared above a mountain inside the gate of Yulingmen.

What I saw was a gray-white giant rhinoceros that was thirty or forty feet long and ten feet tall.

After the beast appeared, it immediately released all its aura without reservation.

That tremendous momentum has already exceeded the limit of a fourth-level monster and is infinitely close to a fifth-level monster king!
As its aura was released, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be stimulated. Silver-white lightning began to move around, and the pressure from the Heavenly Dao suddenly became much stronger.

The gray-white giant rhino raised its head and looked at the thunderclouds with dancing silver snakes, a hint of fear flashed in its eyes.

The power of heaven is unpredictable. Any intelligent creature cannot help but feel fear from the bottom of their heart when facing the pressure emitted by this heavenly thunder tribulation.

This is something that is imprinted in the blood and soul of all living beings in this world, and no living being is immune to it.

However, those who have reached this point, no matter whether they are human cultivators or demon beasts, all know that the only way to survive is to go against the will of heaven!

Follow the will and you will be ordinary, go against the will and you will be immortal!
If you want to achieve immortality and transcendence, you must take this heaven-defying path!

So the gray-white giant rhino quickly suppressed the fear in its heart with a roar and began to prepare for the tribulation.

But as spiritual light surged on its body, the rocks under its feet immediately melted into mud and gathered towards it. In the blink of an eye, a thick and ancient blue-gray rock armor was formed on its body.

Then it opened its mouth and spit out a ball of khaki light, which emerged and turned into a hemispherical shield to protect itself.

Boom!

Just as the gray-white giant rhino began to use its magical powers to set up defenses, a deafening thunder suddenly exploded.

This is the thunder sound of heaven, which contains the power of heavenly calamity. Even a real person in the Nascent Soul stage cannot be immune to its influence.

At the moment when the thunder exploded, even Zhou Chun and other monks who were watching the ceremony, who were hundreds of miles away from the place where the tribulation was to be overcome, were all shocked and temporarily unconscious.

The gray-white giant rhino that was bearing the power of the Heavenly Thunder Sound head-on was stunned, with a look of confusion in its eyes.

It was not until a thick silver beam of lightning struck the khaki shield, shattering the shield and falling on it that it woke up as if from a dream.

This first bolt of heavenly thunder alone was enough to destroy the two lines of defense it had set up, and even its body was slightly torn by the power of the heavenly thunder.

Such power made Zhou Chun's eyelids twitch slightly in the distance.

Although he knew that the heavenly thunder tribulation encountered by a fourth-level monster when breaking through to the fifth level was extremely powerful and far stronger than the heavenly tribulation that cultivators would face when they were transforming their elixir and forming an infant, he had never expected it to be so terrifying!
You have to know that with the current magical power of the gray-white giant rhino, the two lines of defense that have just been set up would be difficult to break with one blow even if a real person in the Nascent Soul stage activated a top-grade magic weapon.

Unexpectedly, it was directly broken by the first thunder of heavenly tribulation!
The complete heavenly thunder tribulation is divided into three rounds, with a total of twenty-seven heavenly thunder tribulations!

This made Zhou Chun wonder, can the gray-white giant rhinoceros really survive the heavenly thunder calamity?
Just when he was wondering with mixed feelings whether [Rock-armored Giant Rhino] could successfully survive the calamity, the thunderbolts from the sky had already fallen one after another.

The gray-white giant rhinoceros also showed an unyielding will to resist under the bombardment of thunder.

It kept using the two defensive skills it had at the beginning. Even though the power of the thunder gradually increased, and it was bombarded with flesh and blood every time, it never used other means.

After the first round of nine heavenly thunders had all fallen, there was no intact skin left on the gray-white giant rhino's body. It was covered with pits and wounds, and dark red blood scabs wrapped around its entire body like a layer of blood scab armor.

It is said that the way of heaven is fair. Even a calamity like the thunder tribulation that eliminates those who go against heaven will leave a glimmer of hope for those who survive.

Therefore, in the three rounds of thunder tribulations, after each round of nine thunder tribulations, there will be a pause before the next round begins.

This pause time is the best time for the tribulation survivor to heal and catch his breath. Whether he can seize this ray of hope and survive the next thunder tribulation depends entirely on the preparations made by the tribulation survivor!
If the [Rock-armored Giant Rhino] was just a wild monster without any backers or helpers, at this time the most it could do was to swallow a few spiritual herbs found in advance to heal its wounds, and the effect would basically not be very good.

But it is not a wild monster, but is supported by the entire Yuling Sect.

In order to allow the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] to successfully survive the heavenly thunder calamity, the Yuling Sect had obviously made a lot of preparations.

Once the heavenly calamity subsided, the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] immediately spat out a black bottle that he had swallowed long ago and hid in his stomach, and swallowed all the healing pills in it.

All of these elixirs are top-quality products that all Jindan-stage cultivators would fight for. After swallowing them, the medicinal power is quickly digested by the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] and used to restore its own magic power and injuries.

After just a few dozen breaths, the wounds on its body began to grow granulation tissue and healed quickly.

After about a cup of tea, the flesh wounds on the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros] had recovered by about 80%.

At this time, the second round of heavenly tribulation officially arrived.

Compared to the first round of heavenly tribulation, the second round was more powerful. The first thunderbolt alone easily shattered the protection set up by the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino], leaving a huge and hideous scar on its body, causing it to howl miserably in pain.

Then, when the second thunderbolt fell, it finally dared not to be arrogant anymore and quickly used its third defensive magic power.

But a grayish-white spiritual light shone from its body, and its body instantly transformed into a stone sculpture of a giant beast, its aura faintly connected with the mountain below.

The silver lightning struck the stone sculpture, leaving many cracks on it, but failed to shatter it.

As the gray-white spiritual light surged, the cracks on the giant stone sculpture quickly returned to normal.

Relying on this magical power, [Rock-armored Giant Rhino] actually survived eight thunder strikes in a row and survived the second round of thunder strikes!
Zhou Chun was also surprised by this scene.

He was naturally familiar with the magical power of [Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros] that allowed it to transform into a stone elephant. This was almost exactly the same as the [Petrified Body] that his own pet, the Golden-armored Mountain Turtle, Shitou, awakened after breaking through the third level. It was very likely that they were the same magical power.

But I didn't expect that this magical power was so powerful that it could even withstand so many heavenly thunder tribulations!
It seems that he still underestimated the power of this magical power!

However, since even the [Petrified Body] is so powerful, the racial innate magical power [Body Transformed into Mountain] that the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone now possesses should only be more powerful. Maybe in the future he will be able to rely on this move to survive three rounds of thunder tribulations!

Of course, this may be a bit of an overthinking, because the stronger the monster itself is, the more powerful the heavenly thunder tribulation will be, and vice versa.

Otherwise, those monster species that are not good at defense or attack would have no chance of surviving the heavenly thunder calamity.

If a monster like the Mountain-carrying Turtle breaks through to the fifth level, the power of the heavenly thunder tribulation will definitely be much stronger than the thunder tribulation that this [Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros] is facing now.

But even so, the possibility of the Mountain Turtle surviving the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation is definitely much greater than that of the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros] under normal circumstances.

Looking at the [Rock-armored Giant Rhino] again, when the second round of thunder ended, it also took the initiative to dissipate its petrification ability and restored its normal flesh and blood body.

Then, its body was suddenly covered with bloodstains, and countless spider-web-like bloody wounds appeared all of a sudden. Blood gushed out from them, and it instantly turned into a bloody cow!
At the same time, the mountain below him collapsed hundreds of feet, and countless stone powder and dust were flying in the wind, like a sandstorm!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun's expression changed drastically again. He knew that he had underestimated the power of the thunder.

It turned out that the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] did not completely withstand the damage from the thunder, but only delayed the onset of the injury by being petrified.

It also transferred the power of the thunder to the mountains and earth beneath it, and the mountains and earth helped it bear some of the damage from the thunder.

Now that the second round of thunder has passed and a new chance to catch its breath has come, it will naturally not continue to endure its injuries and not recover!

It repeated the previous operation, opened its mouth and spit out a bottle, took out all the healing items in it and swallowed them all. Zhou Chun even saw a few demon pills flashing with earthy yellow light, which should be third-level upper-grade earth attribute demon pills.

For the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino], which is already considered a quasi-fifth-level monster, these demon pills have no effect on improving its cultivation. They are only used to restore magic power.

From this perspective, demon pills are indeed the best thing for demon beasts to restore their magic power.

Zhou Chun also kept this in mind. If his own pet needs to undergo a tribulation in the future and there are no other better elixirs to choose from, he can prepare a few elixirs of the same attributes as a tonic.

Although doing so seems to be a waste of resources, it is nothing compared to the benefits gained from surviving the heavenly thunder tribulation.

However, even with these medicinal pills and demon pills as a tonic, it would be impossible to fully recover the injuries and magic power of the Rock-Armored Giant Rhino in a short period of time.

When it finally stopped the bleeding from the wounds, the third round of thunder had already arrived!
As the last round of thunder, the power of this third round of thunder is naturally much stronger than the previous two.

When the first thunderbolt fell, the whole sky was filled with shining silver lightning. Then a silver lightning bolt like a dragon or a snake descended from the sky and in the blink of an eye landed on the gray-white giant rhino that had just barely erected two lines of defense.

Moo——

A miserable roar sounded from the silver lightning, and the huge body of the gray-white giant rhino was knocked to the ground by the lightning. A huge wound deep enough to see the bone instantly appeared on its back, and even the white cow bones were burned black!

The injuries caused by this one bolt of lightning alone were more serious than all the injuries the gray-white giant rhinoceros had suffered before combined.

It couldn't even imagine how terrifying the remaining eight thunders would be!
Therefore, when the second thunderbolt was about to fall, it finally began to fight desperately.

I saw a grayish-white spiritual light condensing on the horn on its head, and it directly released a grayish-white light column full of destructive aura which blasted towards the thundercloud above its head, colliding with the second thunderbolt that was falling.

Under the bombardment of this gray-white light column, the second thunderbolt suddenly shrank by nearly half in size. After falling on the defense held up by the [Rock Armored Giant Rhino], it was directly destroyed along with the defensive magical power.

However, the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] could no longer launch such attacks continuously in a short period of time. Therefore, when the third thunderbolt fell, it could only open its mouth and spit out its own demon pill, relying on the power contained in the demon pill to forcibly blast away the thunderbolt.

However, the demon pill also developed some cracks, causing significant damage to its vitality.

In this way, relying on the opportunity gained by the demon pill, when the fourth thunder fell, it recovered its breath and released another gray-white light beam to meet the thunder, and survived this thunder.

When the fifth thunderbolt fell, the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a ray of ochre-colored spiritual light, heading straight towards the thunderbolt.

That was not its demon pill, but a khaki-colored seal magic weapon. Judging from its aura, it was a mid-grade magic weapon!
However, this mid-grade magic weapon was easily shattered into pieces by the thunder.

Then, the thunderbolt, whose power was reduced by less than 20%, shattered the defenses set up by the Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros, leaving a second deep wound on its body that was visible to the bone.

Even though the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros] was known for its tenacious vitality, these two wounds on its body made it suddenly become much weaker and more exhausted.

It should be noted that the trauma caused by thunder is different from other traumas. The power of thunder remains in the body and can greatly suppress the monster's own recovery ability.

Otherwise, with the powerful self-healing ability of the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino], coupled with the assistance of the healing pills it swallowed, its injuries would not recover so slowly.

But the heavenly calamity obviously will not show mercy to any living being.

The sixth thunderbolt fell quickly after a dozen breaths.

This time, a ball of dark brown spiritual light spewed out of the mouth of the [Rock Armored Giant Rhino] again, and it turned into a dark brown giant peak hundreds of feet high that blocked the thunder.

It turned out to be another top-grade magic weapon with earth attribute!
But even a top-grade magic weapon would shatter into several pieces under the bombardment of thunder and fall to the ground.

Afterwards, this thunderbolt whose power had been weakened by nearly half still blasted away the protection set up by the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino], leaving another serious wound on its body.

Obviously, the power of the thunder becomes stronger as time goes by.

After the seventh thunderbolt fell, the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] finally recovered and released the third gray-white beam of light.

The effect of the gray-white light column this time was similar to that of the top-grade magic weapon, and it also allowed it to barely survive the seventh thunderbolt.

Only the last two left!

At this moment, looking at the giant beast that was already covered with scars, whether it was the people from the Yuling Sect or Zhou Chun and others, their hearts were in their throats.

As long as they can survive these last two thunders, they will witness the birth of a fifth-level demon king with their own eyes today!
This is a scene that is even rarer than the Jindan stage cultivator transforming the elixir into a fetus!
As everyone was watching, the eighth thunder arrived as expected.

At this time, the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] had almost run out of mana due to the continuous use of various magical powers that consumed extremely high amounts of energy.

Faced with the eighth thunderbolt falling from the sky, it could only roar, raise its head and charge upwards, colliding with the thunderbolt with the horn on its head.

The result was that its horn, which was so hard that even top-grade magic weapons could hardly damage it, was directly shattered by the thunder, and even its skull was shattered into half by the thunder!

With such a severe blow, even a quasi-fifth-level demon king like it was on the verge of death.

Going to fail?
When Zhou Chun saw this scene, his expression changed slightly, and he didn't know whether he should be disappointed or happy.

Many disciples of the Yuling Sect also lowered their heads, their eyes filled with despair, unable to bear to watch the tragic scene that followed.

The disciples of Shenmu Sect have already started cheering.

Only a few Jindan-stage elders of Yuling Sect had not despaired at this moment. Instead, they were looking at the giant beast with tense expressions, with a hint of hope in their eyes.

No one cared about the reactions of these human monks, whether it was the heavenly thunder tribulation or the dying giant beast.

The heavenly thunder tribulation will not stop attacking as long as the target has not died completely.

Therefore, the last thunderbolt came as expected.

As the last thunderbolt in the entire heavenly thunderbolt, the power of this thunderbolt naturally reached its extreme, almost comparable to a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!
Even a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage would be injured if dealing with such an attack, let alone the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhino] that has not yet survived the thunder tribulation.

But at this moment, the [Rock-armored Giant Rhino] suddenly exhausted all its magic power, opened its mouth and spit out a golden light to meet the thunder.

In the golden light, there was a golden cone that was several feet long!

"The ultimate magic weapon [Golden Light Breaking Yuan Awl], isn't this the magic weapon of the previous Grand Elder of the Huangfu Family? How could it be in the hands of this evil creature! Could it be..."

A cry of surprise suddenly sounded from the blue sky near the Yuling Gate, but only a few people heard it.

This was because at this moment all the cultivators' attention was attracted by the golden light and silver thunder.

After the golden cone collided with the falling silver thunder, it did not shatter directly like the previous two magic weapons. Instead, after consuming a large amount of the power of the silver thunder, it was blasted to the ground with a wail and sank into the earth without a trace.

Afterwards, the thunderbolt, whose power had been greatly reduced, continued to bombard the [Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros], directly blasting its huge body into pieces!

Still dead?
When Zhou Chun saw this scene, he suddenly felt disappointed, as if he didn't want [Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros] to die.

But this feeling of disappointment had just stayed in his heart for a few breaths before his eyes widened and he was instantly stunned by the scene he saw!

The shattered body of the [Giant Rock-Armored Rhinoceros] actually turned into a bunch of green smoke, and then the real [Giant Rock-Armored Rhinoceros] emerged from the ground.

At this moment, the [Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros] still looked like it was dying, but it was still alive after all.

As the aura of the [Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros] reappeared, the thunderclouds in the sky no longer reacted, as if they had completed their mission and quickly dissipated.

At this moment, a silver full moon suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a strange sight to see a full moon in the sky in broad daylight!
I saw a bright silver light shining from the silver full moon, and soon a silver slurry like lead and mercury fell from the sky and floated towards the [Rock Armored Giant Rhinoceros] on the ground.

"It's 'Emperor Flowing Jiang', the God-given 'Emperor Flowing Jiang' has appeared!"

The excited roar came from nowhere, but it immediately aroused the greed of countless people.

"We can't let that beast absorb the 'Emperor's Flowing Juice' to recover. Everyone, work together to grab all the 'Emperor's Flowing Juice'!"

Inside the Shenmu Sect camp, the great elder who had reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation shouted loudly, then pinched his hands together and performed the Wood Escape Technique, escaping towards the mountain gate of the Yuling Sect.

Looking at the Yulingmen camp, several elders of the Yulingmen also flew towards the mountain gate as soon as possible, wanting to protect the mountain guardian beasts that were still in a weak period.

And above the nine blue skies, an old man in a yellow robe was looking at the silver liquid with longing in his eyes, and he was ready to make something.

But just when he was about to snatch the "Emperor Liujiang", his expression suddenly changed, and he looked in a certain direction with fear, where there were only continuous white clouds.

But the old man in yellow robe was like a mouse seeing a cat. After bowing in that direction, he quickly turned into a yellow cloud and left the place!
